If a proposal presented by a planning group comes to pass, Jefferson will get a new look with two business renovation projects. The “BoomTown Steering Committee,” along with representatives of the Georgia Department of Community Affairs presented the final project presentations last week on the Lee Street property, Mark Linkish, owner; and the South Public Square property, Gina Thrailkill, owner.
Both property owners were in attendance at the presentation on Nov. 8.
The presentation showed proposed new development for the old motel property and the rehabilitation of the second floor of the ReMax building. The DCA representatives and Northeast Georgia Regional Commission representatives also talked about possible funding for both projects.
For the full story, see the Nov. 21 issue of The Jackson Herald.

more tax dollars wasted on a dying downtown. old motel should be torn down and turned into a parking lot for the few employees still working downtown. REMAX building is private property so let the owner fund any remodel.

Nothing classy about barflys peeing in the middle of street. I saw it twice and I was only passing thru. I can't imagine what residents downtown saw. Put a bar next to your house and see how you like it.

Too funny. Bought the paper to read rest of story and it is not in the paper.

Maybe that is the ending to the city of Jefferson anyway. That is no story.

Except in really rural areas small town America is way way way long gone. Nothing will revive Jefferson nor any other little town.

So, that is the end of the story.
